So, I'm not afraid to go anywhere, I just don't really often want to go anywhere because I've become more of a misanthrope over this past year than I already was. I greatly underestimated how stupid people are.

Is there a name for this disorder?

Or am I just a rational person in an irrational world?

My wife and I are living pretty normal lives — didn’t really change much of anything. But we do find that we like people a lot less now than we did a year ago.

For years, due the pedo uncle, I suffered from frequent panic attacks.

Everything felt and looked unreal/surrealistic.

Finally I learned to “take my thumb off my adrenaline pump” and stop them quickly.

But now, I’m experiencing the same look/feel and it’s NOT panic attacks, it’s our new “reality” and I can’t stop it like I could before.

This is really messing me up.

And I bet there are millions like me.

Coronaphobia - fear of the cold.

Not agoraphobia, but I have noticed I can’t talk as much as I used to because my throat gets sore. A result of decreased socializing.
(Maybe saying less will make me look smarter to my friends...)

I have never wiped down my groceries. Did people really do that?
I have never bought a bottle of hand sanitizer. Soap and water works just fine for hand washing.
Where water isn’t available, like when filling the gas tank, plain wet wipes work fine.
If stores didn’t require them, I’d never wear a mask, either.
As it is we only scurry to put them on when a client comes in the door.
Not dead yet. Had a cold but that’s it, first one in years, and got that back when we were still trying to follow the mask mandate before it got on our nerves.

I wouldn't say I have Coronaphobia. But to be on the safe side, I haven't drunk a Corona beer since the pandemic started.

As for Agoraphobia, the last time I was in Athens I avoided the Agora (because there were a lot of left-wing demonstrations going on and I was told it was unsafe to go to that part of the city).

This afternoon I went for a walk on a trail in a state park. A woman coming the other way coughed a couple of times when she was maybe 20 feet away and quickly called out, "I'm not sick! I'm not sick!" Neither of us were wearing masks.

It’s only dumb liberals who are scared of the VID. nearly 100%

We conservatives see right through this garbage. Hate masks. And all the restrictions on liberty

I’m not afraid to go anywhere either, but find myself becoming more and more offended by these masks.

I also have no respect for anyone who walks or drives around outside with nobody else in sight, masked up to the eyeballs.

‘it’s good for people to have some fear of the virus if it means they wear a mask’

as we are wont to say on this forum, stopped reading right there...

‘I’ve become more of a misanthrope over this past year than I already was.’

I would have thought my misanthropy could not have increased; how wrong I was...
